A+ is a powerful and efficient programming language. It embodies a rich set of functions and operators, a modern GUI with many widgets and automatic synchronization of widgets and variables, asynchronous execution of functions associated with variables and events, dynamic loading of user compiled subroutines, and many other features. Execution is by a rather efficient interpreter.

The Bubbling Load Monitor (or "Bubblemon" for short) is a system load monitor for the GNOME panel. It looks like a vial containing water. The water level indicates how much (electronic) memory is in use. The color of the liquid indicates how much swap space is used. The amount of bubbles reflects the system CPU load. A message in a bottle indicates there is unread mail. A reed-like graph shows I/O load. On multi-core systems the CPU with the highest load will bubble in the middle, and the others on the sides, so it's possible to see how well load gets distributed between CPUs.

The council passed a resolution at its Tuesday meeting asking the McClellan Development Authority to give an abandoned railroad spur to the city for use as part of the bicycle trail system. The 3,500-foot spur, which formerly served Fort McClellan from the Norfolk Southern railroad, extends from the main rail line to Alabama 21 at Baltzell Gate Road.
"This is a proactive step," said Councilman Jay Jenkins, who presented the resolution to the council.
The city is now tasked with acquiring the property along the seven miles of rail line that extends from the end of the Chief Lagida Trail in Weaver south to the multi-modal depot on West 4th Street in Anniston. Ownership of the rail right-of-way reverted to the adjacent property owners when the railroad abandoned the lines.
"I think we're getting pretty close there," Jenkins said of the ongoing property search. "We've pretty much identified our property owners. We're going to move here pretty quickly into an acquisition stage." City Manager Don Hoyt said the most recent report from Ed Isom, whose firm is conducting the property search, identifies at least 840 acres — about 1.3 square miles — of property to be acquired along the former rail right-of-way.
Although the spur sought by the city extends eastward past Alabama 21, Hoyt said the city won't seek to continue the Ladiga Trail spur along the railway into McClellan because the former tracks extend into Cane Creek Golf Course. Instead, future bike-friendly pathways into McClellan could be achieved with a new traffic signal with pedestrian crossing at Baltzell Gate Road and bicycle lanes with signage on routes through McClellan.
Robin Scott, executive director of the McClellan Development Authority, said such an extension of the Ladiga Trail would "be a benefit to McClellan and future development there and a future benefit to the city."
Scott said he didn't expect any resistance to the MDA granting the city's request. "As a matter of fact, we offered that spur line as part of a group of parcels the city was interested in a year or so ago," he said, noting the measure never materialized. He said he expects the authority will handle the request at its next meeting on April 24.
In other business, the council:
• Authorized City Manager Don Hoyt to negotiate the scope of work and fee with J.R. Wilburn & Assoc. for preliminary engineering work for Monsanto Road. The road will lead to the proposed trailhead park to connect to the Coldwater Mountain bike trail system.
• Authorized Hoyt to enter into an agreement on behalf of the Anniston Calhoun County HOME Consortium with the Northeast Alabama Community Development Corporation.
• Authorized city staff to enter into contract negotiations with consulting firm ACP for strategic planning services.
• Authorized reimbursements to city officials for expenses incurred while traveling outside of the city.
• Passed a resolution overruling objection to abatement of a declared nuisance at 905 Hillyer High Road.
• Declared a group of properties public nuisances.
• Authorized the closing of 11th Street between Gurnee Avenue and Noble Street from 1:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. on April 26 for a prayer vigil.
• Learned from Hoyt that tearing down the old theater at McClellan for parking and recreational amenities adjacent to the Anniston Aquatic and Fitness Center would be paid for with leftover bond money rather than carried out by city employees, as he had said on Monday.

Blame it on the Nip
Vampy Victor's Love Meme. See I love my mice, but I don't like my parents to see me play with them. I play it very cool when they're looking (not even a little whap), but when I am alone - nothing separates this granny cat from her mice. I love em all but my true love is my Mousey.
I would not allow Mommy to reveal Mousey's photo, Mousey is very timid and shy and I can not allow the pawparrazzi to stalk Mousey. Mousey has been my true love for a very long time but my parents have rarely seen us together. They do hear us though, when I move Mousey (and Mousey goes everywhere that I go) I like to sing a little love song. My parents call it my strangled cry, but Mousey is plump and it's hard to enunciate, Mousey enjoys the song too and jingles right along - Don't judge.
On human note of love - Mommy was always rather shy and didn't like going out to look for love. Her grandmother always asked how she would ever find a man, if she didn't go out looking for one. Mommy told her that her Prince would be delivered to her door. Wanna guess how she met Daddy? He was delivered right to her door as a party guest of her roommate. They've been together ever since - twenty-one years later.

647 S Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach, CA | Directions 9265133.538351 -117.780457
24 hrs.
Imagine the cool ocean breeze brushing up against your cheek. Admire the views of the deep, blue, Pacific Ocean from the balconies overlooking the waves of one of our oceanfront rooms. Pacific Edge Hotel on Laguna Beach, is the ideal Laguna Beach resort. Located on the ocean, and yet also in the heart of Laguna's vibrant downtown. Here, along a pristine stretch of one of the most breathtaking coastlines in the world, guests enjoy beautiful, unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean, and relax to the soothing sound of crashing waves. Enjoy convenient sunning, surfing and swimming as the sand is just steps from your room. Pacific Edge Hotel is not only steps away from the sand of the California coast, but also steps away from everything that Laguna Beach has to offer. The hotel is within walking distance of both Laguna Village and the shops and galleries along the South Coast Highway.
Great for the Budget – We recently stay at VV on our honeymoon. We requested the top floor was very delighted that the top floor was only took one flight of stairs! We had a beautiful ocean view from a semi-private balcony. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. This is not a 5 start hotel but, the room is average, clean, and fairly spacious. The price was perfect for staying within our budget. I would have paid more just to have the view we did. It was great. The pools were nice too. My husband doesn't like to swin in the ocean for the pools were great. The areas we clean and there were always employees around keeping up on the grounds. The only down fall was parking but it was not the hotels fault since some people just do not know how to park inside the lines!
I cannot wait to go back!
Oceanfront Laguna Beach hotel for vacationers on a budget. – In Short
Three hundred feet of private beach access and rooms of all sizes and price--many with ocean views--make this Laguna Beach hotel a vacationer's dream, and at a decent price--especially compared to other area resorts. Other amenities include heated pools and family-suite options. It's located just two blocks from downtown Laguna, which is filled with shops, galleries and restaurants.

HCC to offer classes in Franklin County
Submitted by Leigh-Anne Mauk on Mon, 08/01/2005 - 12:00am
Beginning this fall, Hagerstown Community College will offer classes at Chambersburg Hospital and Greencastle-Antrim High School.
"It's important for us to fulfill our mission by offering credit classes where our students live and work," said HCC President Guy Altieri. "Nearly 20 percent of our student population comes from Pennsylvania and we want to make it even easier for them to fit college into their lives."
Three courses will be offered at Chambersburg Hospital for the fall semester and include Human Biology and General Psychology on Wednesday evenings, and English Composition on Tuesday evenings. GAHS will be the location for Introduction to Sociology on Wednesday evenings and Public Speaking on Monday evenings. Classes begin the week of August 29.
Additional locations in Franklin County and courses will be added in the future. To learn more, call HCC at 301-790-2800, ext. 238.

My husband and I were sure we were having a girl until our ultrasound said otherwise! We have one boy's name that we had both liked early on (Oscar), but now that it's "real" I'm not sure it's right for our son. And with time ticking (we're due in May, but I'm a planner), my husband is quick to veto but unable to come up with his own suggestions! We actually do agree on general ideas (not too trendy or popular, we like traditional/old-timey/preppy names, and we have no syllable/vowel/whatever preferences or requirements about it) but when it comes to specifics, we're having some trouble. My husband's name is Fletcher which he and I both LOVE. We have only met one other Fletcher ever but it's not a "weird" name by any means. We would love to find something just like that for our boy!
My absolute favorites are Griffin and Fisher, but he's not sold on either of them yet. Names we both generally like include Felix, Oscar, Owen, Milo, and Henry, but we think that the last three are too trendy (we love Liam, but that has the same problem). Our tastes do diverge, though. I love names like Connor, Cooper, Hunter, Jonah, Jude, Miles, Miller, Rowan, Sawyer, and Spencer--none of which he likes enough (and some he hates!). He loves Elliot but I like it better as a middle name. Other middle names we like include Leighton, Freeland, and Montgomery (all family names, though that's not a stipulation). His last name will be my husband's last name which starts with a D and rhymes with Purant (think the sound a cat makes plus the insect)--so names like Grant are out. I also don't like D first names with a D last name.
Anyway, as you can see, we could use some help! Is Fisher too matchey with my husband's name? Is there a good middle name for Griffin that would make my husband love it? Are we missing that magic name? Is there a combination in all of these that we aren't seeing?? There's a good chance that this will be our only child but it's possible that we'll have one more. If we were having a girl, we would have named her Mabel, Clementine, or Clara.
Many thanks and Happy New Year!! I promise to send an update AND a picture when our son arrives. And because you seem like the kind of person who might like this, here's a preview of what he looks like. The caption would read "Hi Swistle, please help name me!"
This is a suggestion you have certainly thought of, but I am going to go right ahead and make it anyway because it's kind of an uncommon to start up in our generation: how would you feel about having a junior? You and your husband both love your husband's name, and you'd both like something just like that for your son---so perhaps go right for it?
Or he wouldn't have to be a full junior: you could give him a different middle name, to reduce confusion and to let you still have the fun of choosing at least one new name.
If you'd rather not, but you wouldn't mind using something very close, Thatcher or Archer would be adorable. (I learned just this minute from The Baby Name Wizard that a fletcher is an arrow-maker, so that makes Archer particularly appealing for that connection.) Fisher is a great name and I want to finally know someone who uses it---but I think it's confusing/tongue-twisting with Fletcher (I keep getting Flesher and Fitcher.)
I wish he liked Miller. That seems like a really good one.
Instead of Elliot: Everett or Emmett.
Instead of Liam: Leon.
Instead of Griffin: Gideon or Finnegan or Phineas.
I also love Felix from your list. When I was reading through the letter but before I'd gotten to that list, I thought "They like Oscar and Fletcher---I should suggest Felix!"
Milo might be a little trendy, helped in this impression by a couple of actresses who used the name for their sons. But it's been awhile since anyone famous used it, and I'm only willing to say "MIGHT" be a "LITTLE" trendy, and it was one of the three finalists for my youngest baby, and I still really like it for you. That little ultrasound hand-wave has the attitude of a Milo, and I think Milo has just the right mix of quirky and well-rooted.
Or would you like Nico instead? Or Theo? Or Leo? or Hugo? I think Hugo would be great: Hugo Purant.
I also think you might find Oscar is the right name after all, once you've had time to get used to him being a boy. Oscar is so great with the sister names, if you have a girl later on: Oscar and Mabel; Oscar and Clara; Oscar and Clementine.
Harrison just came to mind. It's surnamey like Fletcher, and it's nice with the surname: Harrison Purant.
For a middle name, I suggest your own surname if it's at all name-like.
For Griffin, Elliot seems like a good middle name to maybe tip your husband into using it: Griffin Elliot Purant. One downside is that the initials would spell GED, like the high school equivalency exam, but for me I don't THINK that would be a deal-breaker.
The names Fletcher, Felix, Oscar all have a sort of crackle in them. Looking for other such names:
Declan (starts with D, I know, but I want it in the list anyway)
Or here's a long-shot to consider: Pascal. It takes a little getting used to, but I think it has huge potential: familiar yet almost unused in the U.S., and very similar in sound to names like Oscar and Felix, and with a super sciencey namesake to boot. Pascal Mother-Surname Purant-with-a-D.
Name update! Lauren writes:
We wanted to give you an update on our little lion, who came into this world 9 weeks early. It seems that Felix Everett Purant (with a D) just could not wait any longer to be with us. He's getting stronger by the day and we're so in love with him. Thanks for your help--Everett was one of your suggestions and is the perfect middle name for our little guy. We've already gotten a million compliments on his name.

White House Correspondent Chuck Todd visits Bristol
The election may be over, but a man with a front row seat in Washington visited Bristol.
NBC Chief White House Correspondent and Political Director Chuck Todd made a stop in Bristol Saturday.
The crowd which included local high school students heard insight from this Tuesday's election.
"The most surprising thing is what happened in the U.S. Senate. The fact that Democrats picked up more seats. That is one of these [situations where] it gave the President and they didn't expect to have this much leverage," said Todd.
Todd also says this election has taught the country that demographics are changing and will play a major role in the 2016 election.

If you post a picture of the faucet, we may recognize the brand.
Hello all, I have a question that hopefully you will be able to help with. My house was built in the early to mid 70's and these faucets are probably original. Once I turn off the hot water faucet, it continues to drip/leak. It started has a drip and has turned into a small stream. Over the past few weeks the faucet's "off" position has continued to move around the stem counter clockwise about 1/3 of a turn.
Is this something that can be fixed, or do I need to just buy a whole new faucet assembly and move on? I do not know what brand the faucet is either, so if I do take it a part what do I need to know to get parts?
Edit: I forgot to mention, this is a 3 handle style faucet.
If you post a picture of the faucet, we may recognize the brand.
Terry, thanks. I will definitely do that, headed out of town for the rest of the day but planning on tearing into this thing tomorrow, so I will post a picture then.

ALLEN, Texas — Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Allen will offer free mammograms and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano will provide free breast cancer radiation therapy treatments to uninsured women in Collin County, thanks to funding from the North Texas Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
A recent $20,000 grant from the organization will allow Texas Health Allen to provide breast health education and self-examination instruction, computerized breast cancer risk assessments and up to 100 digital screening mammograms to eligible women during the next year. A part of the hospital's "Better Breast Health" initiative, the program is designed to reach out to women in the community who cannot afford the evaluations, are uninsured or underinsured, and/or are members of historically underserved populations. This is the second year Texas Health Allen has received a grant from Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
At Texas Health Plano, a $50,000 grant from the North Texas Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure will cover the cost of radiation therapy treatment for eligible women with breast cancer. Patients must be referred by a physician and meet certain financial requirements to qualify.
Targeted toward the same population groups, the grant is the first for Texas Health Plano's Radiation Oncology Center, which opened last August. Radiation therapy for breast cancer typically includes an average of 35 treatments during a six- to eight-week period.
"The goal of Texas Health Allen's Better Breast Health program is to bring breast health education and screening to underserved populations, including the growing African-American and Hispanic populations in Collin County," said Barbara Quast, R.N., Texas Health Allen's women's health service line and education director. "Community outreach efforts will be targeted at providing early breast cancer detection and prevention, and breast health education and information."
Carinsa Gaston, B.S., R.T.T., oncology program manager at Texas Health Plano, hopes this initial grant will serve as a foundation for more funding for women who don't have insurance or can't afford breast cancer treatments.
"We are pleased to be able to provide this important service to women in our community who might not otherwise seek help," she said. "We're also thrilled that we were selected as the only oncology facility in Collin County to receive such funding from the Komen organization this year."
Last May, Texas Health Plano's cancer program received top accreditation from the American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer as an "approved cancer program" — a designation only 25 percent of hospitals in the nation share. The national accreditation ranks Texas Health Plano among the best cancer treatment facilities in the country, based on the commission's findings.
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.
White women are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer than African-American women, yet African-American women are more likely to die of this cancer. This seems partly because African-American women tend to have more aggressive tumors, although why this is the case is not known.
Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among Hispanic women. In addition, low screening participation rates translate into Hispanic women often being diagnosed at a more advanced stage, resulting in higher mortality rates.
"Such factors as lack of insurance, low participation in screenings and barriers related to language in the case of Hispanics often result in these underserved populations not utilizing screening services," said Quast. "Last year, thanks to our first grant, we were able to extend our reach further into the community and overcome some of these impediments. We hope to continue that progress again this year."
Women can access Texas Health Allen for mammograms upon referral from a doctor or a group such as the Komen organization, or on their own. Quast also will be contacting community groups, faith-based organizations and businesses in the area to help get the word out.
In addition to no-cost mammograms, program participants will receive a personal computerized breast cancer risk profile. The assessment determines risk by obtaining answers to a series of questions concerning family history, reproductive history and biopsy history. Participants receive screening guidelines; those at high-risk are given information and referrals for managing their risk.
For more information on no-cost mammograms at Texas Health Allen, call 972-747-6000. The Breast Center is open six days a week.

The Amuq Valley Projects
1998-99 Annual Report
K. Aslihan Yener and Tony J. Wilkinson
The Oriental Institute Amuq Valley Regional Project (AVRP) commenced full-scale excavations at Tell Kurdu, one of the 237 sites in the Amuq Plain. This approximately 15 ha site is situated close to the eastern edge of the former Amuq Lake (Lake Antioch-Amik Gölü) in the southernmost part of Turkey, the State of Hatay. The site was previously excavated by Oriental Institute teams, including Robert Braidwood in a rapid two week season in 1938. Full scale operations were resumed this year from 22 August to 12 October 1998 with a team of twenty-five, including students from the University of Chicago's Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. The excavations were embedded within the overarching aim to reconstruct palaeoenvironment and landscape patterns. Survey efforts wrapped up the first phase of reconnaissance in the valley and included parts of the foothills and mountain ranges of the Amanus.
The 1998 season was conducted under the auspices of the Turkish Ministry of Culture, Directorate General of Monuments and Museums. In Ankara we were greatly assisted by the Acting General Director of Monuments and Museums, Kenan Yurttagül. The Ministry was represented by Mehmet Erdem from the Antakya Museum. The 1998 excavation team consisted of Asl1han Yener (project director), Chris Edens (site director), Abbas Alizadeh, Jesse Casana, Benjamin Diebold, Bakiye Yükmen, and Kubra Ensert. Brenda Craddock and Tülin Arslano©lu executed the illustrations, Paul Zimmerman the topographical survey. Heidi Ekstrom, Missy Loyet, and David Reese were responsible for the palaeobotany and faunal analyses. Tania Collas and Cap Sease were the site conservators. A separate survey team led by Tony Wilkinson consisted of Tim Harrison, Jan Verstraete, Simrit Dhesi, Shin Ishiyama, Hatice Pamir, and Tülin Arslano©lu. They continued the geoarchaeological and archaeological survey of the Amuq Valley and conducted additional surveys in the foothills. The Amuq Valley Regional Project was funded by the National Geographic Society, the Oriental Institute, Kress Foundation, and numerous private donors. We are particularly grateful to both the Oriental Institute and its members who contributed financially to the success of the project. Special thanks go to Malcolm H. Wiener and the Institute of Aegean Prehistory for their continuing support of the Amuq Valley Regional Project.
Excavations at Tell Kurdu (K. A. Yener)
The season began with the creation of a set of topographical maps of Tell Kurdu and endangered neighboring sites such as Tell `Imar and Tell Dhahab near Judaidah. Tell Kurdu dates from Amuq Phases C through E (sixth-fifth millennium BC), and care was given to expose horizontally as much of Phase E as possible and to target known burials. Ten trenches of various sizes were placed on the northern and southern sectors of Tell Kurdu. Trenches 1, 6, and 9 exposed 225 m2 on the summit of the Southern Mound and unearthed a large multi-room building made of pisé slabs immediately below the plow zone. Long, narrow grill-like storage rooms flank a rectilinear corridor and subsidiary rooms of this public building set on a terrace. The terrace was constructed of alternating packed mud and reeds and provided a large open space adjacent to the building to the west. Undulating reed bedding, laid horizontally like beams, was found partly covering the base of the storage rooms - a curious and difficult to understand architectural idiom. Pottery revealed that the structure dates to very early Amuq Phase E or transitional Amuq Phase D/E, in the late sixth or very early fifth millennium BC.
Trench 2, which exposed 100 m2 on the eastern edge and yielded a building with an array of pisé storage bins constructed like pigeonholes, is slightly later in date. An earlier phase yielded a large pisé tholos building (roughly 7 m in diameter) with triangular internal buttresses. Normally tholoi are associated with the Halaf period; however, the pottery retrieved from the floor was consistent with Phase E Ubaid traditions.
Trenches 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10 exposed 335 m2 on the older Northern Mound where an Ubaid cemetery had been reported by locals in previous years, and older deposits with architecture were targeted. Several flexed burials were found in situ with grave goods cut into a complicated sequence of midden deposits in Trench 4, filled chockablock with discarded charred grain and burnt pisé lumps. Catfish the size of a table, baby elephant, lion, equid, and other wild fauna were dumped into the trash pits that are tentatively dated to Phase D. Trench 7 exposed multi-room architecture with a cremation burial placed sometime after the use of the building. Associated pottery resembles Halaf Phases C and D periods.
Remote sensing utilizing a magnetic field gradiometer covered several large areas of both mounds. Having delineated burnt areas for possible identification of pyrotechnological installations, the results also had a value added aspect in identifying a large, possible tripartite building in the older Northern Mound. In addition to this feature, previous surface surveys had found vitrified wasters suggesting the location of ceramic kilns. This was corroborated by the magnetometer; two large circular structures appeared as magnetic anomalies.
Quantities of small finds were recovered from the first season, some within and on exterior surfaces of the excavated buildings. These include stone vessels, human and animal figurines, metal, slag and ore, flint and obsidian implements, groundstone tools, tokens and bailing tags, personal ornaments, and stamp seals. The clay tags and geometric devices found in the Southern Mound architecture offer a clear connection between special function or elite buildings and bureaucratic accounting. This was the first foreshadowing of the subsequent bulk storage of staple products and increased wealth in the form of high status artifacts and their distribution during the Uruk period. A variety of clay lumps were found that might have functioned as sealings on containers, bags, or bales, and could be associated with the control of goods. Perhaps closely related are a number of clay "gaming" pieces, which may be interpreted as tokens or counting devices. As a group, the forms and styles of the seven stamp seals found in excavated contexts resemble assemblages found previously in Phase E at Kurdu, although some examples on the Northern Mound suggest that levels earlier than Phase C may be present.
Animal and human figurines are also associated with the Southern Mound architecture. Ubaid-related stylistic imagery is present especially in the human figurine fragments found in Trench 2 and may reflect ideological aspects of prestige enhancement. Coffee-bean eyes, a conical head (or headdress), and a lizard-shaped face are characteristic of this style. Fifteen sling pellets or missiles were found, constituting a large category of bi-conical and ellipsoid shapes made from a variety of media - clay, serpentine, marble, and other stones.
The excavation recovered several very small pieces of copper, seemingly fragments of tools or ornaments (e.g., awls or pins). In addition, a complete flat ax was a surface find that cannot be dated. Iron ores - hematite and goethite - were used like ground stones to make mace-heads and other dense objects. Chipped stone, including obsidian, and lithics included elongated querns, mullers, and mortars. Polished stone celts and wedges of various sizes, an artifact category that spans Amuq Phases A through F, were common. Bone tools such as awls and needles made from sharpened shafts of animal long bones as well as spatulated tools also appeared. A shaft hole hammer made of antler was also found. Spindle whorls (usually rounded and pierced sherds) and loom weights were abundant.
Field Survey (T. J. Wilkinson)The 1998 field survey season commenced initially in August 1998 with a small team consisting of Simrit Dhesi, Hatice Pamir, and Jan Verstraete, and then continued under the direction of Tony Wilkinson in early September 1998 when he arrived from Syria. Fieldwork then went on until the end of September with the above team, supplemented by Shinichi Nishiyama. A total of 34 new previously unknown sites were visited and recorded, which takes the total number of sites recorded (including those published by Robert Braidwood) to 237.
In 1998 progress continued to be made in the reconstruction of the environmental sequence with the discovery of a massive trench through the southwest part of the Orontes flood located near the Byzantine and Ottoman water mill at Sultan Merkezi (site AS 229). This roughly 300 m long cut penetrated down to some 6 m below the level of the floodplain. At its southern end the trench cut through an ancient land surface and alluvial fan that contained later Palaeolithic artifacts. This old land surface must therefore have formed the valley side that accumulated during the later stages of the last (Pleistocene) ice age. After this accumulation a long sequence of sediments was deposited during the last 10,000 years or so as the Orontes River floodplain became built up over the earlier sediments. As a result of this sequence it is now possible to summarize the sedimentation in the Amuq Plain as indicated in figure 5. This composite diagram shows: to the left, the rapid accumulation of gravel fans that dumped some 2-3 m of gravel over the Hellenistic land surface along the Amanus Mountains; in the center is the Amuq Lake, which accumulated after about 500 bc; right of center are levees deposited by Islamic canals; and to the far right are the various accumulation levels of the Orontes floodplain. In other words there seems to have been significant accumulation of sediments over much of the plain, which might therefore have obscured a number of smaller sites. The one area that was not affected by this sedimentation appears to have been the Çakaltepe sedimentary window, an area in the south central part of the plain (right of center in fig. 5) in which the present ground surface approximates to that of the prehistoric period. It was within this window that archaeological sites were best preserved.
The environmental sequence from Lake Gölbasi (located towards the north end of the plain) continues to be refined by Liz Friedman and Ercan Alp, now with the additional assistance of Anton Stampfl. As a result of their pioneering work using the advance photon source synchrotron beam at the Argonne National Laboratory to measure trace elements in sedimentary cores, we are now starting to understand the sedimentary sequence from the center of Amuq Lake. From the cores and other sections recorded in the field, it appears that the Amuq Basin might have contained a series of pools or even a small lake around 7000 years ago. This episode would have coincided approximately with the period when Tell Kurdu was occupied and might have provided the requisite valley floor habitat for the numerous large fish recorded as part of the faunal analysis from the 1998 season at Tell Kurdu. The water bodies that existed in the basin center appear to have dried up through the remainder of the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age. After this, the Lake of Antioch became established and the area, as we know from classical records, then became a supplier of fish for the inhabitants of the region.
The advance party of Dhesi, Verstraete, and Pamir had already made important breakthroughs by finding significant new sites on the limestone uplands to the east of the basin. These included a large monumental building situated on top of the limestone ridge of Kizilkaya (site AS 208). This structure (fig. 6), dated to the mid- to late third millennium bc by a scatter of small sherds of red-black burnished ware, consisted of large mainly limestone blocks that formed an elongate trapezoidal structure measuring 16.4 m across the short end. Although its overall length was some 63 m, the main structure appears to have been somewhat shorter. From its location and monumental structure, this site seems to have functioned as a major fortified building that overlooked the main north-south route which followed the eastern side of the plain. In addition to this small but important site, the team found a massive dolmen field consisting of some 144 stone tumuli that presumably represent prehistoric tombs. These are currently being studied by team member Bakiye Yükmen of Mustafa Kemal University.
On the plain itself one of the more significant sites is the large low mound of Karacanl1k (AS 92) that covers some 8-10 ha (20-25 acres) and was occupied through the late fourth and early third millennium bc (that is during Amuq Phase G). When originally visited by Braidwood in the 1930s this site was surrounded by marsh, but we now know that this marsh development only occurred in the last 2,000 to 3,000 years. At the time of occupation, however, this small town was apparently surrounded by dry cultivable soils that eventually became inundated by the rising levels of the marsh during the Late Roman, Byzantine, or early Islamic periods. This pattern of inundation is therefore very similar to what happened to the small site of AS 181 which became flooded by the rising waters of the lake (see 1996/97 Annual Report). Altogether fifteen occupations with Amuq Phase G were recorded, with three additional occupations of probable or possible Amuq Phase G date (fig. 7). This is a significant increase over the six sites recorded by the original survey.
In the earlier seasons most of the survey was undertaken using the standard Near Eastern technique of mound survey, but to increase the total recovery of sites we have employed more intensive survey techniques that entail off-site walking transects across the plain between sites. Although productive in terms of site recovery, this method was not without tedium, the procedure being for the team to be spaced at intervals of roughly 20 m apart and walking along parallel alignments, collecting pottery across a field until the opposite side was reached. This methodology, which was conducted over approximately 110 ha of the Amuq (ca. 272 acres), confirmed that during the Roman and Late Roman periods the plain was very well populated. Settlements were scattered over the surrounding foothills to the southwest, especially near Antioch, where they seem to have included small dispersed settlements, rural buildings, and small farmsteads (fig. 8). The sites in the southwest corner are very close to ancient Antioch, and on the basis of the presence of masonry remains, roof tiles, and lumps of mosaic tesserae, many can be interpreted as the remains of Roman villas such as have been described by the ancient writer Libanius (e.g., sites AS 226, 228, 235, 236, 237).
It is also possible that a number of the late Roman sites were settled by people who were displaced by the expanding lake because the geoarchaeological surveys clearly indicate how the late phases of the lake had overlapped onto field soils that had been cultivated in the Roman and Late Roman periods. This was particularly clear to the north of the lake near site AS 87. Also for the Roman period we recorded briefly the destruction wrought by the expansion of the modern city of Antakya and its suburbs. Among the numerous discoveries of heavily bulldozed Roman, Late Roman, and Byzantine suburbs was a small conduit, presumably constructed to supply water to the eastern part of the city.
By the end of the 1998 field season we had resurveyed most of the Amuq Plain, artifacts had been collected from most sites, and geoarchaeological sections had been recorded whenever possible. In addition, some progress has been made towards an understanding of settlement in the surrounding hills. Nevertheless much remains to be done. Pottery collections from the sites need to be studied, drawn, and analyzed; sites that were occupied at the same time as Tell Kurdu need to be revisited and collected in more detail, and finally we still need to survey in more detail the adjacent drier uplands as well as the Orontes Valley to the southwest, and the Kara Su Valley to the north. This we hope will be undertaken in future seasons. The Amuq represents an area where potential multi-project initiatives can be undertaken and students, faculty, and colleagues of the Oriental Institute will be able to investigate a variety of sites.

Giant Jackpot for Tuesday EuroMillions
Monday 21st April 2014
The EuroMillions lottery game is always one of the most generous as far as jackpots are concerned, but the top prize will be extra special this Tuesday because official estimates predict that it will be worth a whopping £47 million. The giant jackpot comes after no player was able to match all five main numbers and both of the Lucky Stars in the most recent game on Good Friday, and that led...

Those results gave the lucky player concerned the very nice sum of £1,679,725, which isn't a bad little nest egg to acquire just a few days before the Easter weekend. Whether the winner will come forward to claim their prize in time for lottery officials to pay out...

The Logitech Z50 is about as no-frills as you get for a multimedia speaker, but at $20 it's not a bad deal for the sound it delivers.

Spawning (video gaming)
In video games, spawning is the live creation of a character or item. Respawning is the recreation of an entity after its death or destruction.
All players typically spawn at the start of a round, whereas some objects may spawn after the occurrence of a particular event or delay. A player spawning again in the same round will usually be considered to be "respawning", especially if something occurred to bring them back sooner than usual. The term "spawning" is used almost exclusively in games where the player repeatedly dies.
The term was coined by id Software within the context of its game, Doom.
Spawn points[edit]
Spawn points are areas in a level where players spawn. In levels designed for team play, these points are usually grouped so that each team spawns in their own tight area of the level. Spawn points are typically reserved for one team at any time and often have the ability to change hands to the other team. Some games even allow spawn points to be created by players; using a beacon for example in Battlefield 2142. "Odd" spawn points cause the player to be spawned as if actively entering the game world, rather than merely appearing there.
Spawn camping is a practice where a player waits near precise spawn points to kill enemies as they spawn. This is usually considered to be poor sportsmanship and some players even perceive it to be exploitative of the game itself. Most team-based games have some kind of protection against spawn camping, such as a one-way door that only allows players to leave the spawn area, permanent AI defences or perhaps a timer which kills enemies if they spend too long around the spawn area. Games with capturable spawn points will often leave some spawn points without this sort of camping protection. Spawn points for game objects are often abused in a similar fashion in game types such as role-playing games.
Enemy respawning[edit]
In some games, enemies may be respawned (or, equivalently, new ones spawned) to keep players on their toes and create tension, or force players to move on, making it too costly (in resources) and/or too dangerous to stay in one place for too long. Enemies may visibly spawn or, in more realistic games, spawn outside the player's line of sight and move towards the player. Early games including monster respawning are Doom and its sequel Doom II: Hell on Earth. The enemies in these games had the ability to spawn from their teammates. Later games that continuously spawn enemies include GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, System Shock, Mass Effect 2 and Call of Duty.
In MMORPGs, it is typical for monsters or mobs of monsters to continually respawn to allow all players a chance to fight. Some of these games implement instances, which create a temporary copy of the game world and its characters, reserved for a subset of players. This allows each subset the chance to experience that part of the game without any interference from uninvited guests.[1]
Player-requested entities[edit]
In some games a player who has access to debugging or administrative tools can spawn entities or pickups with said tools.

MKB Management Corp d/b/a Red River Women's Clinic, Kathryn Eggleston, M.D., v. Birch Burdick and Terry Dwelle, M.D.
05.15.13 - This case challenges provisions of North Dakota House Bill 1297, passed during the 2011 legislative session, which would effectively ban all medication abortions in the state by requiring compliance with conditions for the provision of "abortion-inducing drugs" that are impossible to meet. The law was set to take effect on August 1, 2011, but the court has blocked its enforcement since July 2011, and has announced that it will permanently strike down the challenged provisions as unconstitutional.
Plaintiff(s): Red River Women's Clinic and Dr. Kathryn Eggleston
Center Attorney(s): Autumn Katz, Janet Crepps and David Brown
Co-Counsel/Cooperating Attorneys: Joseph Turman, Turman & Lang, Ltd.; Jared Bobrow and Carmen Bremer, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP
Summary: Red River Women's Clinic (RRWC) is the only abortion provider in North Dakota, and provides a range of reproductive health services to the women of the state, and for women who travel from South Dakota and Minnesota. Women seeking abortions through nine weeks of pregnancy currently may choose between surgical abortion or medication abortion. Medication abortion, which became widely available in the United States in 2000, represents an advance in medical care for women seeking abortions. Approximately 20% of RRWC's patients choose medication abortion.
During the 2011 legislative session, the North Dakota Legislature passed House Bill 1297, which would have imposed onerous restrictions on the provision of medication abortion and required RRWC to enter into a medically unnecessary written backup agreement to handle emergencies at a local hospital. On July 18, 2011, the Center filed a challenge, on behalf of RRWC, to several provisions of HB 1297 on the grounds that the act violates the rights of RRWC, its physicians, staff and patients, because: 1) it bans all medication abortions; 2) it places unconstitutional burdens on women seeking medication abortions; 3) it is impermissibly vague; 4) it constitutes an improper delegation of legislative authority; 5) it constitutes an impermissible special law; 6) it violates the equal privileges and immunities rights of women seeking, and physicians providing, medication abortions; and 7) it violates the right to bodily integrity of women seeking medication abortions.
The Center asked a state court to block enforcement of HB 1297, and the court agreed to enjoin enforcement of the bill while CRR's lawsuit was pending. At trial, Plaintiffs presented evidence showing that the protocol RRWC follows when providing medication abortions has been tested and shown to be safe and effective. Plaintiffs' evidence further showed that RRWC's practices are consistent with the standard of care, and that allowing HB 1297's restrictions to take effect would have been harmful to women's health. At the conclusion of a 3-day trial, the Court announced that the North Dakota state constitution protects a woman's right to choose an abortion as a fundamental right, and that the statute violates this right. The Court further stated that any concerns about the safety of medication abortion had either been "exaggerated or contrived" and that the unconstitutional restrictions actually "stand in the way of women's health."

Bosch introduces 'Long Haul Extreme' alternators
The heavy duty alternators are designed to provide superior power output on the road and while idle.
The new Long Haul Extreme is equipped with a 'brush' compound that is unique to Bosch and which enables the brushes in the Long Haul Extreme to last as long as, or longer than, brushless alternators. Though packed with power and features, the Long Haul Extreme alternator weighs significantly less than those using brushless technology while providing more available amperage output.
Thermal Protection
Bosch Long Haul Extreme voltage regulators are built with thermal protection, which allows the alternator to sense extremely high underhood temperatures that could potentially damage the internal components of any alternator and cause it to fail prematurely. The temperature-sensing feature of the voltage regulator allows the alternator to continue to operate at a reduced voltage output until the engine compartment reaches normal operating temperature below 257 degrees F (125 degreesC), at which point the voltage output returns to normal.
Brushless units do not contain this feature and allow the alternator to continue to charge at a full rate until they cease to function due to heat damage or at least experience irreversible damage that will lead to premature failure soon after the terminal incident.
Bosch Long Haul Extreme Bearing Technology
Bosch Long Haul Extreme alternator bearing technology provides exceptionally long life not available from brushless alternators.
- Bosch Long Haul Extreme alternator bearings use steel that has 40 percent longer life than its closest competitor when tested at a 3,000 Newton meter belt load.
- Due to the type of grease used in Bosch Long Haul Extreme alternator bearings, and the amount of grease installed in the bearings, Bosch Long Haul Extreme alternator grease has a lifetime 30 percent greater than other alternators when tested at 130 amps output.
"These features allow the Bosch alternator bearings to run 10 to 15 percent cooler. When run at 6,000 alternator rpm, the Bosch bearings operate at less than 120 degrees Celsius, while the closest competitor is 125 degrees, with some as high as 140 degrees," Padgett said.

I accept the grand jury testimony as incontrovertable fact. Evidently you see the grand jury testimony as idle speculation and conjecture. To each his own.
Yes, and I once personally knew a woman who claimed to have been raped by a man. He was convicted and sentenced to many years in prison. Shortly after I met and had interactions with this woman she recanted her testimony and claimed he didn't rape her. She wanted to set things right. No one believed her now. She fought for years to get him removed. They said there was plenty of evidence he was the one regardless if she changed her story and questioned her motives. Finally, after many more years and the advent of DNA testing, they realized he was not guilty and he was finally freed after spending many years in jail. His life completely ruined and he has been unable to every fully recover.
All you need to know is the little bits of information you have heard in the grand jury without having the slightest clue what went on behind closed doors behind Paterno and McQueary but seem to be so ready to convict based on your emotional response and limited information. Fortunately we have a legal system that allows people their day in court, or the court of public opinion would already have crucified certain individuals that MAY not be so culpable as you and the altruistic media make them out to be.
I am done with this.

April 8 – Happy Birthday Catfish Hunter
From the moment I started following my Yankees as a six-year-old in 1960 right up until the team's fifth place finish in the AL Pennant race in 1965, I loved Major League Baseball's Reserve Clause. It is what had permitted the Yankee's skillful and ruthless front office to firmly imprison the best baseball talent in America in Pinstripes until they could no longer run, hit, field, or throw or at least until they could be traded for someone who could do these things a bit better.
But after 1966, my stance on the sanctity of this oppressive piece of contract language began to soften. Overnight, the Yankees' glamorous galaxy of star players seemed to grow old. Compounding the problem was that CBS, the team's new owner, stopped investing in the Yankee farm system and that thriftiness, combined with the impact of the newly introduced MLB Amateur Draft, caused New York's cupboard of bonafide home grown prospects to quickly grow bare. Also coming back to bite the team in the rear end was the tendency of the Yankee front office to avoid signing black prospects all throughout the late forties and fifties.
So by the late sixties I was one of the biggest advocates of testing baseball's reserve clause in the courts and when George Steinbrenner took control of my favorite team, I was actively rooting for Curt Flood's legal victory.
The New York Yankee's first signing in Baseball's new free agent era took place on the very last day of 1974. At the time, Jim Catfish Hunter was the American League's premier starter. He had just completed a string of four consecutive 20-victory seasons for Oakland, the ace pitcher on a team that had won the last three World Series.
Hunter's best season in pinstripes turned out to be his first, in 1975. He won 23 of his 37 decisions, threw 7 shutouts and compiled a 2.49 ERA. It wasn't enough to win the Yankees a pennant but that certainly was not Catfish's fault. He literally pitched his arm off that year, completing 30 games and amassing 328 innings pitched. In fact, during the three seasons of 1974, '75 and '76, Hunter threw 944 innings of baseball and the damage caused to his arm by that strain helps explain why he spent much of his last three seasons with New York on the DL.
What many Yankee fans fail to fully appreciate about Hunter was his ability to pitch effectively and be a clubhouse leader on teams that had rosters full of strong player personalities led by eccentric, very vocal owners. Hunter's experience with Charley Finley's Oakland A's prepared him well for the Bronx Zoo and George Steinbrenner. And even though he had just that one twenty-victory season with the Yankees, Catfish showed his Yankee teammates how to focus on winning while on the field and how to survive the glare of a hyperactive media, monitoring a crazy clubhouse.
I will never forget Catfish's gutty seven-inning performance in Game 6 of the 1978 World Series. That victory clinched a second straight championship for New York and I felt it was Hunter's finest moment as a Yankee.
Inducted into Cooperstown in 1987, Catfish died of Lou Gehrig's disease, twelve years later.
Below is my all-time Yankee free agent lineup. Only players who became Yankees' originally via free agency are eligible. This disqualifies Yankees like Derek Jeter, who became a free agent while he was a Yankee and re-signed with the team. It also disqualifies free agent signers like Andy Pettitte, who was a Yankee, left and then re-signed with NY as a free agent.

City Manager
Please Note: The City Manager Office has moved to 300 N. Campbell
The City Manager's Office is charged with the professional executive oversight of the local municipality.
With proven leadership and skill, City Manager Joyce Wilson has guided City government with strong executive team support and a dedicated work force focusing on high performance and excellent customer service to address the community's needs and priorities.
"It has been my honor and privilege to serve the El Paso community and city organization since 2004 when voters changes the charter to a council-manager form of government. I am extremely proud of our talented and committed employees who strive each and every day to make El Paso a world class city for all to enjoy - visitors and residents alike. This is due in large part to an aggressive and focused pursuit of a shared vision for the organization and the community we are so fortunate to serve. From operations and facility enhancements, to building and maintaining lasting community partnerships, these examples of transformational change are continually visible throughout the City of El Paso. " City Manager Joyce Wilson
2012 promises to be a watershed year for El Paso, with a significant quality of life investment plan going before the voters in Fall 2012; a revamping of our regional economic development partnership and a renewed focus on public/private partnerships to grow the economy and create new jobs for the citizens who live here. A concerted focus on transportation infrastructure, including a rapid transit system and other significant public works investments promises to change the face of El Paso in the years ahead.
These changes and related growth are part of a transformation that began in 2005 when the Mayor and Council created a vision to make El Paso 'the most livable city in the southwest.' That continues to be our single purpose today.
